How to check if Yaris has remote entry - Toyota Yaris Forums

fraenx · 06-28-2009, 02:43 AM

I just tried unlocking the car from the passenger side again and it set off the alarm. However, I did have a hard time even getting the key in there to unlock. Maybe it's a bad copy, not sure. It does work well on the driver side door.

I also found a diagram that shows the remote receiver on the driver side back just behind the window. So I pulled off the panels in the rear and found the receiver. That means it obviously does have remote entry. Now I just need to figure out where to get a remote key without paying $200 because that's about what the dealer charges.

Still not sure what the deal is with the alarm. Also not sure if it has the transponder or not. According to CTScott's post I checked the ignition and it's all metal which should indiate that it doesn't have a transponder/immobilzer. But it has a red blinking light on top of the steering wheel column which firebob's post indicated that it does have the immobilizer. I am confused about that.
